Lace & Fade Boxy Sweater



Lace & Fade Boxy by Joji Locatelli

This pattern is $7.00 on Ravelry 

Boxy sweaters are like a friend who loves us dearly: always makes us feel comfortable and beautiful. They suit all body shapes and can be dressed up or down. You can wear a boxy sweater with any outfit you like.
In this version, delicate bands of lace alternate with bands of silky fabric that subtly change colors.

This sweater has a lot of positive ease built in. This means that the finished product will be much bigger than your bust measurement. However, not all the sizes have the same amount of ease built in, as larger sizes don’t need the sweater to be so oversized.
Choose a size according to your bust measurement in the list of sizes above: if your bust circumference is 40”, choose size 66".

MATERIALS
1200 - 2500 yards of fingering or sport weight yarn. For the sample sweater, I used 3 skeins of the main color (Lamb and Goat in Quartz), and then one skein each of 4 additonal colors (Morel, Barberry, Sage, and Redwood), PLUS 2 skeins of Suri Alpaca Lace (Dye Lots Studio in Pearl).

Needles: US 4 3.5 mm and US 3 3.25 mm circular needles.

GAUGE:
23 st and 33 rows to 4” in Stockinette st on US 4 (3.5 mm) needles in the main yarn (sport or fingering).
